In this six-hour course, which will meet state requirements for law and ethics, Dave will present these top issues, including what can happen to you and your license if you violate them. He will review principles of law and ethics that are critical for psychotherapists to understand in their practices, including, but not limited to: The professional judgment rule The Medical Information Act and its new threat to psychotherapists Defining the unit of treatment Defining the patient The issuance of subpoenas, the service of subpoenas and responding to subpoenas Creating and maintaining the integrity of the psychotherapist-patient privilege Interacting with lawyers, especially in family law cases Assessing for suicidality Informed consent Terminating the therapist-patient relationship Communicating with third parties Staying out of the BBS' crosshairs and other surprises!
